Here I am. The last day of my short winter recess. Doing very little besides moping and avoiding doing things. Did I mention that my GD
often seems to manifest itself in an inability to get anything done? It's hard to focus on things like school, work, etc. when such an
integral part of your life is completely out of synch. It's amazing to me at times that I've gotten through as much school as I have.

I meant to get to this a few days ago, but things always come up don't they? I spent the night of December 29 and the morning of December 30
keeping a friend entertained (awake?) on her harrowing drive back home from Cali to Colorado. She has this incredible ability to find the
police in every state she travels through. Go figure. Anyways, at the moment, I've been living vicariously through her (mis)adventures because
alas, my life is so very dull. I'll bug her until she puts up an account of all the crazy things that happened during her holidays but until then
go visit her website. She's a cutie.

So it's back to school time for another semester. Thankfully this will be the last semester where a majority of my time is spent in the classroom.
The books are starting to drown me. I apologize if my ability to keep up with things wanes a little once school gets in full swing. You'll all
just have to bear with me again. Sorry I didn't finish all the revisions I wanted to here. Maybe in the next week while the load is still on the
light side? We'll see.

"Must I pretend that I'm,
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be free to fly,
That burns with a need to know the reason why,
Why must we all conceal,
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time,
When will my reflection show who I am inside?"
